“We will win the seat comfortably. However, soon after the results are announced the state government might announce dates for two-tier panchayat system. We will, however, not accept two-tier elections and we will even go to court for implementation of the three-tier rural polls as this has been agreed in the memorandum of agreement,” Gurung said.

The state government has not said anything yet about two-tier rural elections in the hills.

Gurung also told his party leaders that the organisation has to be further strengthened in the hills. “During the Lok Sabha elections, some of the party leaders were overburdened. Proper co-ordination must be there in all organistations,” he said.

In the just concluded Lok Sabha election, the Morcha supported BJP candidate S.S. Ahluwalia in Darjeeling.
